Vehicle Fire Systems:


A wet pipe sprinkler system is a sprinkler system employing automatic sprinkler heads

attached to a piping system containing water and connected to a water supply so that water

discharges immediately from sprinklers opened by heat from a fire.

Each sprinkler is activated individually when it is heated to its design temperature. Most

sprinklers discharge approximately 20 -25 gallons per minute (gpm) , depending on thesystem design. Sprink lers for special applications are designed to discharge up to 100 gpm.

A dry pipe sprinkler system is a system with automatic sprinkler heads attached to a

piping system containing air or nitrogen under pressure. The release of this pressure (as

from the opening of a sprinkler) permits the water pressure to open a valve known as a dry

pipe valve and the water then flows into the piping system and out of the open sprinkler

head.

Dry pipe sprinkler systems are installed in areas where wet pipe systems may be

inappropriate such as areas where freezing temperatures might be expected.

Deluge Fire Sprinkler Systems

The arrangement ofdeluge fire sprinkler system piping is similar to a wet or dry pipe

system with t wo m ajor differences:

A. Standard sprinklers are used, but they are all open. The activating elements have been

removed so that when the control valve is opened water will flow from all of the sprinklers

simultaneously and deluge the area with water.

B. The deluge valve is normally closed. The valve is opened by the activat ion of a separate

fire detection system.

Deluge systems are used where large quantities of water are needed quickly to control a

fast-developing fire. Deluge valves can be electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically

operated.

Pre-action Fire Sprinkler Systems

A pre-action sprinkler system is similar to a deluge sprinkler system except the
